I have Salters in my family tree from this area near Skibbereen. Would like to hear from anyone who does as well.

Hi Barb, my grandfather came from Schull in County Cork he was Richard Salter the son of Robert Salter and Margaret Jagoe. I have just recently been to Ireland and met William Salter who lives in Castletownshend, he is the son of my gfathers brother William. I have gathered quite a bit of info but always search for more.
If you think we have a link email me on mnorrish@bigpond.net

My GG Grandfather Robert Salter (1815 - 1876) and his wife Jane SWEETMAN (1823-1897) were from Co Cork and Skibbereen area and immigrated to the US in 1846 and settled in Wisconsin. Let me know if this sounds like a match.

Here's my Salter information:
- Hanora (Nora) Walsh of Skeagh, Skibbereen married Thomas
Salter of Kilsarlaught, Lisheen around 1870
- Thomas Salter and Hanora Walsh had 9 children born in
the 1870s/80s:
- Richard Salter m Catherine (Kate) Cadogan from
Poulnacallee in 1916 - had 4 children: Thomas,
Margaret b1920, Nora and Kathleen
- Catherine Salter m Denis McCarthy of Kilsarlaught -
had 17 children in 1890s, 1900s and 1910s
- Marie Salter - became Sr. Marie De St. Hurelin
- son - became Br. Pius Salter
- Hanora Salter b Oct. 14, 1874
- Ellen Salter b1878
- Ann Salter m ? O'Driscoll had three children, then
married Denis Keating of Lake Marsh and had three
children - one, Ann, became Sr. Mathilde Keating
- Michael Salter
- ? ninth child

Any connections with these families?

Sorry to take so long in replying Barb, no, don't know any connecting line here although I am sure if we could go back far enough their would be a link. Your family would appear to be Catholic and mine were Methodist. The father of my Robert was Michael Salter and his wife was Elizabeth Copithorne.
Cheryl

I can go back to Michael and Elizabeth Salter (nee Copithorne) then through Robert to my grandfather Richard who came to Australia around 1910. I only have the names John and Catherine Salter as Michael's children, most likely more that I cannot trace.
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl - I have 20 Michael Salter's and plenty of Copithorne's, but none marrying each other. We must have a link somewhere. Do you have some dates for Salter's, or parents for Micheal and Robert?

Sharon

Hi Sharon
The information I have from Jim Allen re: Copithorne family tells me that Michael Salter married Elizabeth in 1835. Know nothing more. Elizabeth's parents were Richard and Mary ? they lived at Corravoley near Skibbereen. Their children I know of were John b 1836, Catherine b 1841, and my ggrandfather,
Robert b 1846 m Margaret Jagoe, their children were Catherine, Elizabeth, Margaret b1862, Richard (my grandfather) b1884, May (Mary) and William b1886 (wins) Hester A b1889 Robert b1890, Ursula b1892. The family game from the district of Gurteenroe and the name of their farm was Ratravane according to a letter from a relative some years ago.
I do know that Canon George Salter of the Church of Ireland is a son my gfathers brother William.
As you say, there must be a link somewhere!!!!! Don't have anything more I can add so "Happy hunting".
Cheryl

Well, I don't see a match quite yet, but I also have some Jagoe's. I'm sure we link up somewhere with my many Salter's

Sharon

Sounds good, will wait to hear if you make the connection. It gets a bit addictive this hunt for family!!!
